A Bizarre Mid-Flight Death Has the Internet Freaking Out About a Zombie Apocalypse

It's a tragic story: A 24-year-old man suffered a "horrible death" aboard and Aer Lingus flight from Lisbon to Dublin, the Guardianreports. But when you start pouring over the details, what initially sounded like a freak accident now reads like something a bit more sinister:

Flight EI 485 was travelling from Lisbon, Portugal, to Dublin, when it is understood a passenger onboard “ran amok”, apparently “biting” one of his fellow passengers.

Reports claim the man began “biting another passenger” and was later restrained by crew after becoming “extremely violent”.

Thanks for watching!

It is understood the man later became unwell after being restrained and fell into a state of unconsciousness, before being pronounced dead on the Dublin-bound flight.

The plane made an emergency landing in Cork, where a 44-year-old Portuguese woman "who allegedly had four pounds amphetamine on the flight," was taken into custody, Yahoo News reports. A second man was reportedly transported to the hospital shortly after landing while the remaining 170 passengers are awaiting questioning by authorities.
